roasting beans @ papa palheta

say what? yes it is i said papa palheta...it's a specialty coffee roasting place @ hooper road

and it's turning into a cafe where you sample their coffee before buying the beans...see the chic drip machine above?

and the fun part is there is no menu no price list! they try to accommodate your requests and you pay/tip according to what you deem the drink is worth =)

mocha and iced mocha (it's refreshing but not the best mocha i've drunk just because the coffee taste itself is bittersweet and doesn't leave an aftertaste)

it's a small nook off the beaten track and fully occupied when we went on a late saturday afternoon...

have you played auditorium yet?

IT IS a really cool app! i think you can trust me on that when i say so....hmmm feeling abit burnt out lately? don't know why either. just want to get away for awhile even tho' i'm not exactly sure if i'd enjoy myself by going for a short break. life's not complicated seriously~ it's just about being restless and fidgety when the moment comes.

Comfort French food @ Le Bistrot du Sommelier

but first off to prive for some brunch..it was good eggs royale laden with hollandaise sauce which i forgot to snap pics of...darn! and somehow now i have a spoilt handphone which is permanently on speaker mode hmmm shld i downgrade?

@ the restaurant! unique menu behind this signboard but we're abit clueless on rustic french fare...

so we ordered this! which was venison sausage with foie gras (urgg totally not my kind of food)

this was pork cheek ratatouille so of coz i was attacking all the pork cheek than the vegs which the boyfriend complained i left him all the greens ha! am i such a person *humph*

we shared the over roasted lamb leg with like 11+ pieces of lamb slabs between the 2 of us?? we were stuffed even tho' the meat was tender and not with lotsa fats...

mmmm chocolate profiteroles which had a lot of choco sauce...overall it was a very hearty meal altogether and even tho' those dishes are meant for 2 it could easily accommodate up to 4 persons =]
